Miniature Big Easy Arad 1988

Description

In 1988 and 1989, Arad's London "One Off" work shop created an entire series of "Big Easy" armchairs using bent sheet steel welded at the edges. The "Big Easys" were brought out as individual items or small limited series; they all had a striking basic form and inflated arms reminiscent of comics - but they differed in terms of the welding and color. In the course of time, the initially oarse, roughly welded "Big Easys" went through changes, first becoming colorful lacquered chairs with smooth surfaces and then elegant versions made of polished stainless steel.
